We are excited to share that from January 29th to February 2nd, 2024, we will be hosting the "Intensive Course in Sport and Exercise Psychology" for postgraduate students from the European network of sport psychology master programs.

This year, limited positions will be available for master holders in sport psychology, postgraduate students, or professionals outside the network universities*. Please apply by December 28th at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
The Course will be held at the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science of the University of Thessaly in Trikala, Greece. One particular reason behind our excitement is that the Course will be held in person again and this will be a tremendous chance to reconnect with each other.
For years, the Intensive Course has been celebrated for its exceptional quality of content and the esteemed roster of lecturers. The Course's history is a testament to our commitment to providing the same experience for this year's students. Renowned lecturers will once again provide their insights and guidance to the participants who will join us in late January. This will also serve as an opportunity for participants to extend their network and interact with some of the field's most dedicated individuals. We aim for this to be a formative experience for the next generation of sport psychologists.
